L. ARNDT (*1857) after BALESTRIERI (*1872), Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata., Etching

Leo Arndt (1857 - 1945 ) after Lionello Balestrieri (1872 - 1958 ): Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata Mourning for the composer Ludwig van Beethoven at his death mask, 19th century, Etching Technique: Etching on Paper, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "Balestrieri pinx. / W. Leo Arndt sculp.". At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Beethoven / Rich. Bong Kunstverlag, Berlin W.". Date: 19th century Description: The artwork is a careful, monochrome depiction of an interior scene in sepia tones. Several people sit on a bench in a pensive posture, while another person - perhaps a musician - plays a violin in the foreground. The incident light accentuates details such as clothing and facial features, creates contrasts and emphasises the feeling of inner reflection of those present. A portrait can be recognised in the background, suggesting that the music could be dedicated to Beethoven.
